At this point, I believe that its incumbent on AWS to do something to stop spamming my data across the interwebz. The problem… Continue reading Misconfigured AWS S3 Buckets Still Rising
I don’t care what holiday you celebrate. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, or even nothing at all. If you do happen to believe in something, please ask for 2021 to be better than 2020. 2020 for most of us has been a trying and difficult year to say the least.

They’ll never know how you found out they were planning to go a party instead of a… Continue reading Want to Know What Your Kids are Doing on That iPhone?
When COVID hit and contract tracing in the EU and North American became “a thing”, I warned everyone that this was not a good idea. When Google and Apple made it a feature on smart phones, I warned everyone that this was not a good idea. Now we have proof as to how this is… Continue reading Messaging Service Telegram Used to Track, Trap and Torture Iranian Dissidents
I call it barn sized because it allows you to see and hear everything that the cameras using this chip can see and here, it allows you to hijack the device and execute arbitrary code on it.
